The reason I ask is because I'm considering implications of the toralf

number of hosting providers that will provide, say, a routed /48 for a
low cost which could then be used to completely overwhelm the IPv6 anti-
DDoS firewall rules (unlike the IPv4 rules where an attacker would need
to buy a costly new IPv4 just to get an additional 8 connections).
